Install required dependencies either with pkg, or from ports:

pkg install libxml harfbuzz shared-mime-info p5-URI py36-sqlite3 xcb-util-image libxslt xcb-util-wm freetype2 xcb-util-renderutil gettext-runtime fontconfig git bash libxcbcommon xcb-util-keysyms gettext-tools icu python dbus inputproto cmake xorg-fonts pcre png bison xkeyboard-config pkgconf libxcb gpgme p7zip glib python36

Prepare some build directory in your home directory, here we assume:

mkdir ~/kf

Switch to this build dir

cd ~/kf

Get Craft

git clone git://anongit.kde.org/craft.git

Copy the FreeBSD config template to right location, should be OK to use out of the box

mkdir etc
cp craft/kdesettings.fbsd etc/kdesettings.ini

Optional: Adjust craft config to your liking:

ee etc/kdesettings.ini

Optional: Run bash if you are running some other shell

bash

Setup environment:

source craft/kdeenv.sh

In this shell, now craft is usable, e.g. to build Kate with all dependencies:

craft kate
